Advertisers are starting to enter into discussions with NBC for "make goods," which are defined in the article as "ad inventory that is given to sponsors when a program fails to meet its original viewership guarantees."

Can't wait to miss tonight's events.

[Lockbar]

Nobody cares anymore. Olympics need to be tossed into the dust bin of history.

[NoLibZone]

Sports are now political advocacy.

The political space is saturated and there is no need for the Olympics any longer.

[meowmeow]

The Olympics were so much more fun when Russia and Eastern Europe were communists and we were the free world.

[mom.mom]

What’s with the screechy overexcited women announcers? Wow.

[RayChuang88]

I think the time zone difference is also killing ratings, too.

[Impy]

3x3 basketball is great. First time I ever watched more than a second of a women’s game let alone an entire one. Half court, 10 minutes or first to 21.

[matt04]

I have maybe watched 2 minutes of the Olympics by accident when changing channels.

[ontap]

The very people they have gone out of their way to insult were their best viewers.....liberals don't watch sports...it's beneath them!!!

[Cen-Tejas]

The list of what LIBERAL MARXIST DEMOCRATS have screwed up is so long even freepers wouldn’t read it but here’s a few just from memory........Olympics, NFL, NBA, MLB All Star Game, California, Oregon, Colorado, Washington, Electricity in California, Seattle, Portland, Minneapolis St. Paul, New York, New York City, Journalism, American confidence in the Navy, Air Force and Army, the FBI, the DOJ, Immigration policy, IRAN, Afghanistan and on and on and on endlessly.

I couldn't care less about the Olympics. If I want to
watch men masquerading as women I can go downtown. If I want to see open contempt for our country I can watch a Bella Pelosi speech.

How low can you go?”

Reason you watch is to see your country win. If the athletes don’t support your country, then why the hell support them?

I grew up with Jim McKay and gang doing the olympics. It’s been a long downhill slide since NBC took over. The last opening summer ceremonies I watched was London in 2012 and by then actual events were no longer must see viewing. The winter games swan song for me was Sochi. It was a good run I suppose but the games are dead to me and are now part of the cultural landscape wreckage that is the woke world.

I thought the surfing was pretty cool but I admit that I watched the replay on YouTube.

[Half_Retired]

I’ll bet there will be a scandal someday soon about TV ratings fraud. Who watches TV news anymore? You can tell by all the pharma commercials, choice of anchors and some of the content. Older people and non-intellectuals who don’t get their news quickly on the Internet.

[Clutch Martin]

It’s not convenient. Back when you turned on the B&W Monkey Wards Portable T.V. you hat the big 3 and a few UHF... now you have to.oat tge cabke, subscribe to the correct channel, all at a cost, all inconvenient.

Heck I havent seen a baseball game since the analog to digital cutover.

[EastTexasTraveler]

I hope no one watches. NBC hates the U.S.A., and loves showing U.S.A. hating athletes.

[miserare]

Good!

I haven’t watched at all because of the un-American attitudes of the USA competitors.

[Sir Bangaz Cracka]

Hey! I want me some more wokeness. Yea...
